The EISCAT Scientific Association invites applications for observing
time on the EISCAT facilities in 2012, by individual scientists,
research groups, and consortia throughout the world on equal,
competitive basis. This means that anyone can apply, independent of
whether or not the applicant is from an EISCAT associate country.

While evaluations are merit based, in the case of two applications
having similar merits in evaluation, preference will be given either to
those applicants who are new to the EISCAT facilities, in order to
enlarge the EISCAT user community and further more open access to the
facilities, or to the applicant showing stronger educational impact in
their proposal.

The present call is the second one for 2012. In total, 200 hours of
experiment time are open for international, peer-reviewed competition,
and are available for the use of any of the current EISCAT facilities.
Roughly 25% of this time has been allocated during the first call.
